At BlueRock Behavioral Health, we’ve created a structured yet nurturing daily routine that supports our teens’ journey toward emotional wellness and personal growth. Our carefully designed schedule balances therapy, academics, recreation, and personal development, all while maintaining the flexibility to meet individual needs.
Starting the Day with Purpose
Each day begins in the morning with the peaceful backdrop of mountain views. Students engage in morning wellness activities that set a positive tone for the day ahead. The morning routine includes personal care and hygiene, followed by mindfulness or meditation exercises that help center and ground our teens. A nutritious breakfast in our dining hall provides both sustenance and community connection, and the morning wraps up with a community meeting where we set intentions for the day ahead.
Academic Excellence at Bearwallow Academy
Throughout the day, students attend our licensed and accredited Bearwallow Academy. We maintain small class sizes, with no more than eight students per class, ensuring that each student receives the individual attention they need. Our licensed teachers provide live instruction in a supportive learning environment, following a curriculum aligned with North Carolina standards. Educational therapy is integrated when needed, ensuring that academic progress continues alongside emotional growth.
Growth and Discovery
We blend therapeutic work with engaging activities throughout the day. Individual therapy sessions provide focused attention on personal goals, while group therapy helps develop specific skills and address common challenges. Our adventure therapy program makes full use of our mountain campus, providing opportunities for personal growth through supervised challenges. Students also engage in various recreational activities, from hiking and sports to art, while developing essential life skills through structured programming.
Community and Reflection
As day transitions to evening, our focus shifts to community building and personal reflection. Students share family-style dinner, complete homework assignments, and participate in group activities that build social skills. The evening includes time for personal reflection and journaling, concluding with a group wrap-up meeting and a structured bedtime routine that promotes healthy sleep habits.
The Power of Our Natural Setting
Our 140-acre mountain campus serves as more than just a backdrop – it’s an integral part of the therapeutic experience. Students have access to miles of hiking trails, outdoor recreation areas, and peaceful spaces for reflection. Mountain streams and ponds provide natural gathering spots, while our gardens offer opportunities for hands-on learning and growth. The adventure course elements challenge students physically while building confidence and trust.
Family Partnership in Healing
We believe family participation is crucial for lasting success. Parents and guardians become active participants in their child’s healing journey through weekly family therapy sessions and regular progress updates. Our monthly family seminars provide intensive opportunities for connection and growth, while scheduled campus visits allow families to experience our program firsthand. Family support groups offer additional resources and community connection, and our comprehensive transition planning ensures that progress continues after the program ends.
Specialized Programming for Individual Growth
Beyond our daily schedule, students participate in a range of specialized programming designed to support their unique needs. Regular psychiatric consultations ensure appropriate medical oversight, while therapeutic recreation programs build physical wellness alongside emotional health. Community service projects help develop empathy and social responsibility, and cultural and educational outings broaden horizons while practicing new skills in real-world settings.
Our commitment to providing a comprehensive, nurturing environment extends to every aspect of our program. Through structured days filled with purpose and opportunity, we help teens discover their strength, develop new skills, and build the foundation for lasting emotional wellness.
